Axiom completes a full Lean formalization of the classification of finite simple groups

AIKevin Weil says a full Lean formalization of the classification of finite simple groups is complete. He notes the original proof ran about 15,000 pages across 500 papers by 100 mathematicians, and says the formal version settles the result beyond doubt.
